The three of them discussed for a long time, but they still could not come up with a solution. Unlike dealing with Nine Tails, Sky Dog was more mysterious, and the Flute-Killing Art was even more rarely used. Therefore, they were unable to come up with a specific plan.They could only go with the flow.When they dealt with him, they had to adapt to the situation and find the opportunity to neutralize his attacks.Ryosuke looked out the window at the moon and felt extremely distressed. Actually, after he discovered what had happened to Sky Dog, he did not hold any grudge against Sky Dog. Sky Dog was not among the people who had killed the Koka Ninjas back then.As such, Ryosuke did not want to kill Sky Dog. It would be a great loss for the ninja world if such an outstanding genius disappeared.Whenever Ryosuke thought of that, he felt incredibly upset.While the three of them remained silent, the melodious sounds of a flute suddenly came from outside.“Hmm?”The three of them
How imposing!The man walked forward and stopped ten meters away from Sky Dog.“Hey, why are you playing the flute in the middle of the night when you’re supposed to be sleeping?”Sky Dog continued to play his flute as if he did not hear anything.Libra became worked up. “Don’t you understand what I’m saying? If you keep playing, I won’t be polite to you. I’ll grab your flute and break it!”Sky Dog still acted like he could not hear him.“Hey, you’re really arrogant, huh?“Everyone comes from ‘the heavens.’ Do you have no respect for me?“Okay, brat, just you wait!”Libra said whatever he was supposed to say, and since Sky Dog did not care about him, everyone knew what would happen next.Libra took out a long pike and rushed toward Sky Dog.“Die!”He pointed the pike directly at Sky Dog.Thomas, as well as the others, were watching from the room, and they were subconsciously frowning.Libra was fast and brutal, attempting to stab Sky Dog’s forehead without any mercy.Awk
Of course. If Sky Dog could be found without much effort, people would have been able to overcome his Flute-Killing Art too easily. It would not be a top-level ninja skill either.Libra shrugged and said, “Fine, I can’t find your flaw. I give up.”He stared at Sky Dog seriously before he added, “I can’t kill you, but you can’t kill me either. You’re just standing there and playing the flute. How is it possible for you to kill…”Halfway through his sentence, he felt a cold wind behind him.An expert like Libra had pretty fast reflexes. He rolled forward and rushed forward without any hesitation.Phew! A sharp arrow flew over the top of his head.If he had not avoided it on time, the arrow would have pierced his neck.Libra broke out in cold sweat. Wow! Where did that arrow come from?He finally learned the power of the Flute-Killing Art.On the surface, Sky Dog did not exist. No matter how you dealt with him, he would turn into some smoke in the end, and you would not be able t
Libra returned to the VIP resting lounge in the hospital and met up with Thomas and the group.“You did a great job.” Thomas handed him a glass of water.Libra accepted it and took a drink. That fight earlier had been too dangerous and exhausting, affecting him both physically and mentally. If he had not paid attention, he would have died.He said, “That was a really tough job. Sky Dog was like a ghost. I couldn’t find his exact location or hit him at all. He was always ambushing me. How annoying!”That was where the greatness of an S-level ninja skill lay.Ryosuke said, “I understand the basics of the Flute-Killing Art.”Both of them were geniuses who only appeared once every few centuries. Ryosuke’s talent was no worse than Sky Dog’s. After his preliminary observation, he formed his own understanding.Compared with Libra, who knew nothing about ninja skills, it was easier for Ryosuke to find a flaw.“The sound of the flute is just camouflage. It distracts and messes up his ri
The assassin made his move without saying anything. Phew! An arrow shot out from the dark and flew toward Thomas’ neck.However, Thomas tilted his neck slightly forward without looking at the arrow, and it flew past his skin.He was uninjured!Thomas could read the direction and speed of the arrow.He said, “I know this is just an image of you. You’re using a decoy, while the real you is hiding in the dark. You want to identify my flaw and kill me? I’m telling you now that you won’t be able to do that.”Thomas dispersed his Breath, which covered a ten-meter radius around him.Surprisingly, even though he did that, he still could not find Sky Dog’s tracks!He had to admire Sky Dog’s talent as he had already mastered sneaking on such an expert level. Even Thomas’ Breath could not sense his presence.The ninja skills of East Ocean had been developed for many years, and they had been making corrections and improvements along the way.If Sky Dog could be found without much hassle,
After Thomas reentered the hospital, he directly went to the medicine storage place, where he began to choose and prepare medication. It made the others dumbfounded.Nobody had ever heard of someone leaving to prepare medication halfway through a fight.This was not a game, where you could go back home when you got injured. Then, you could buy some medication and eat some supplements to replenish yourself before you went back to resume the fight.Could he do such a thing in a real-life fight?Although Ryosuke and the others did not understand it, they continued to believe in Thomas and did not question him.About ten minutes later, Thomas was done.“Okay, I believe I can now overcome Sky Dog’s Flute-Killing Art.” Thomas seemed very confident.Ryosuke curiously asked, “Are you relying on this bottle of medicine to deal with Sky Dog?”It sounded ridiculous.Thomas flashed him a strange smile and said, “Of course it won’t work if I just rely on this bottle of medicine. I’ll need
Regardless of which situation it was, Thomas was finally safe.Just when Ryosuke thought that Sky Dog had left, an accident occurred. They suddenly heard some coughing sounds from the corner.Everyone looked in the coughing’s direction. They saw a masked man with a flute kneeling on the ground and coughing up blood!It was Sky Dog.It turned out that the disappearance of the shadow did not occur because Sky Dog wanted to give up. In reality, he was injured and unable to continue using the power of his Flute-Killing Art.However, everyone could not understand how Sky Dog ended up being injured.Besides, Sky Dog’s injury looked severe. He could not even stand. He just lay on the ground as his flute rolled to the side.He coughed up some black blood and angrily said, “You poisoned me?”Only then did Ryosuke realize it. “The medicine from earlier was poison? But… we smelled it too. Why weren’t we poisoned?” he asked.Indeed, Thomas, Ryosuke, Pisces, and Libra had also been surroun
Sky Dog could no longer support himself. He gasped and fainted.Looking at Sky Dog who lay on the ground, Thomas mocked himself. “He’s really an opponent who is difficult to deal with. I really don’t know how I should wrap this up without the person's help.“Put him on the hospital bed.”Pisces immediately let two subordinates come over, carried Sky Dog with a stretcher into the ward, and put him on the hospital bed.“Do we need to restrain him with handcuffs?” Pisces asked.Thomas shook his head.Based on Sky Dog’s current condition, they did not need to use the handcuff because it was impossible for him to become conscious.Let alone being conscious, it would be uncertain about how long he would still stay alive.Ryosuke walked over and said, “Three-Day Poison is the poison that belongs to Iga. It looks like Kazuo wants to kill Sky Dog.”Of course, no matter what the final outcome of this battle was, Sky Dog would not be able to stay alive.“Could he still be alive?”Ryosu
No one knew how far down the title Emperor of Luck was inherited.They had finally caught Luck.Following that, Eric leaped into action and reeled in his haul as fast as he could. With that, all the remaining accomplices of Luck were caught in one fell swoop!The two million innocent citizens were saved, as all of them took the antidote.Once again, Thomas saved the day.In order to express their gratitude, the citizens decided to erect statues of Thomas in Celandine City and many other cities as well.In the House of Vistaria.Phoebe ran towards her father hurriedly. She then smiled at him and said, “What did I tell you, dad? Thomas will definitely turn things around, right? I won!”Declan was so agitated, that he started tearing up.Thomas was really too amazing. He was capable of turning things around, even in such a predicament.At the same time, the curse that had plagued the Mars family for over a thousand years was finally broken. From then onwards, Declan was finally
Luck was dumbfounded. Why was Thomas still alive and kicking?“No need to doubt your own eyes. I am indeed still alive.”The crowd parted, making way for a very familiar figure. It was Thomas, the very Thomas whom the public watched him die.As he walked, he said, “Our previous research has already reached ninety-nine percent completion. But no matter how hard we tried, the final one percent remained out of our grasp. At that time, I thought that perhaps the only way was to drink the Ancestral Water and experience the poison itself, which would allow me to have a breakthrough for the final one percent.“And that was what happened. I managed to do it.“After drinking the Ancestral Water, I finally understood what the one percent was and successfully created the antidote for Ancestral Water. Now that the antidote has been created, it will sever your connection with the Ancestral Water.“You will not be able to kill anyone anymore.“You have lost, Luck.”Lost?Luck's eyes were wi
It was obvious that Eric could not afford to take a gamble this time. But he had no choice. His only choice was to listen to whatever the other party said and prepare a helicopter in twelve hours’ time.That was not all. He was also supposed to request for his superiors to help Luck get out of the country.The thought of it made Eric furious.“Damn it!”He left in anger to deal with the rest of the matter.The sky of Celandine City was covered with clouds.The patriarch, Declan, was in his garden in the House of Vistaria. He stared at the withered flowers as he grieved.His entire life was spent supporting Mr. Cole in hopes that he would be able to create an antidote to Ancestral Water. But at the end of the day, Mr. Cole accomplished nothing.His two disciples — Capricious Holy Hand Elliot, and Thomas — were both dead.There was no one in the world who was capable of creating the antidote for Ancestral Water anymore.“Alas...” Declan sighed. It seemed that it was impossible
At that moment, the general public was suddenly dumbfounded, as if struck by lightning. Everyone was down in the dumps.Many of those with poor psychological strength directly collapsed on the ground.They believed Thomas' death could be exchanged for their own safety, but who knew, in the end, they got nothing, and Luck, as usual, used their lives as a bargaining chip to force the authorities to listen to His Majesty's words.No antidote to Ancestral Water would ever be created by chance.The lives of people were still in His Majesty's hands.Whenever luck wanted them to die, they would die without any ability to resist.However, this was not the most frightening part. What was even more frightening than this was that the only person who could create the antidote to Ancestral Water had been forced to die alive by them.It would be impossible to create the antidote to Ancestral Water without Thomas.Mr. Cole and Elliot had all died, Thomas was the last person who mastered the
Eric sighed deeply, "Thomas, even though things have reached this point, you still remain so kind.""I have nothing to say except to choose death because the research failed." Thomas let out a long breath. "Before I die, I want to talk to my family on the phone."Originally, Emma and the others came to Celandine City because they wanted to be reunited with Thomas.Who knew it had turned into a life and death situation?The world was like a chess game; everything was unpredictable.When Thomas was video calling with his family, Emma was already bathed in tears at the other end. She was crying and shouting at Thomas to not be impulsive, and saying perhaps there was still room for things to turn around.That was what she thought, but it was not the case.Every minute Thomas dragged on, more people perished as the result of Ancestral Water, and the crowd’s fear and rage grew.Thomas’ life no longer belonged to him."Honey, take care of the baby."I love you."Those were Thomas’
For such demanding research, half a day was really too short.Thomas had recruited the best doctors and researchers he could find to work on a detailed study of Ancestral Water.In the past, it was difficult to achieve breakthroughs in the research on Ancestral Water. That was because figuring out how to create an antidote for the Ancestral Water was challenging. On the other hand, it was also because obtaining the Ancestral Water was incredibly difficult. Because they only had a few samples, the results were underwhelming.However, it was different now. Because the entire city's water supply had been turned into Ancestral Water, they were able to collect the samples at their convenience. This made it much easier for Thomas and the others to get the materials.With Thomas in charge, hundreds of researchers were conducting a massive study in just half a day. Unfortunately, things did not go according to plan.Thomas still failed. “We almost got it.“We were so close to makin
How sinister. “All we want is nothing but—safety.“As long as we’re safe, we definitely won’t make it difficult for everyone. If we’re safe, no one will die.“Now then, I have a small request to make to ensure everyone’s safety.“I demand that Thomas drink Ancestral Water immediately! This person is a real hassle for His Majesty, and we must keep him under our control for our own protection. Please forgive us for the inconvenience.“We'll only give everyone half a day to consider this. The emperor will begin killing people if Thomas does not step forward and drink Ancestral Water by this afternoon.“Okay. I've said everything I wanted to say. Goodbye.” The TV screen went dark, and so did Eric's face.He kicked the trash can over and said fiercely, “What is this? You're the only person in the world who can create an antidote for Ancestral Water’s poison, Thomas!“Once you drink Ancestral Water, you’ll be controlled by them!“Won't you have to obey Luck's every command by the
After listening to Thomas’ description, Eric also displayed a look of shock and said two words, “As expected.”What did he mean by, as expected?Was it possible that Eric knew that Luck was behind it from the start?“Thomas, follow me.”Eric took Thomas into an empty ward and locked the door. The two sat in the corner of the ward.He whispered, “There is a piece of news that I haven’t announced to the public, that is, besides Celandine City, there are more than ten cities that have problems. Do you know which cities they are?”Thomas’ eyes lit up. He already knew what Eric wanted to say.At the previous meeting, Eric had clearly stated that more than ten cities across the country had been controlled by Luck. Now, there happened to have more than ten cities where residents had been poisoned.Was there such a coincidence?Thomas said, “The residents are poisoned by Ancestral Water. Over ten cities are all under the control of Luck’s forces, so it is almost a certainty that Luck
“I didn’t. I saw the news early in the morning and was shocked. I haven’t dared to drink a sip of water until now.” Pisces took a deep breath and said, “Is this a natural disaster or a man-made disaster? It’s really terrible.”No matter whether it was a natural disaster or a man-made disaster, it was no small matter.Soon, Thomas drove to the hospital.Eric had been waiting here for a long time. As soon as he saw Thomas coming, he quickly let him enter the ward.He saw a patient lying on the hospital bed with his eyes closed, and his body was trembling. Although it was very hot, he was as cold as if he had just been lifted out of the freezer.A doctor walked over and said, “Mr. Mayo, let me tell you the general overview of the current situation.”The virus was spread through water sources.After drinking water with the virus, the virus would lurk in the human body.However, lurking did not mean that it would cause an outbreak.At present, over one hundred thousand people had b
